Q: i am getting mixed info. i am told to fast while traveling. Some tell me i do not need to fast when traveling. All give me ayah of Quran and hadith and stuff. Please clarify. my flight is 3:25am to england. our fast time is 5:00am  plse advice. Ahsanal Jaza. (text inquiry)

A: May Allah (SWT) bless you and reward you for all your fasting and acts of worship in this blessed month, ameen.

The books of Fiqh define a traveler (Musafir) as that person that started their travel before the crack of dawn.

Thus, in your case, once you start your journey at the above mentioned time and do not relinquish your travel, you can do a makeup after Ramadaan.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
